Introduction
At this moment, my biological parents found me and rescued me from hell. I had originally thought they were very poor, but the reality left me utterly astonished!
My biological parents turned out to be billionaires, and they doted on me immensely. I became a princess with a fortune worth billions. Not only that, but there was also a handsome and wealthy CEO who was madly pursuing me.
Chapter 1
Serenitia City, The Smith Mansion, second floor.
Clara Smith put on a simple white princess gown and pulled out her compact to admire her lovely reflection.
She tightened her grip on her handkerchief, jaw clenched as she stared at Catherine—the girl she had despised since childhood—and said:
"I'm the real daughter of the Smith family. You're just a fake!"
During last month’s comprehensive medical exam, the Smith family found out that Catherine was not a match for either Oliver Smith or Celeste Brown.
Clara raised the maternity test report she shared with Celeste, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
She had grown up alongside Catherine—so why was she merely the nanny’s daughter while Catherine enjoyed the status of the esteemed Smith family heiress?
Now everything had returned to its rightful place. At last, it was all hers!
Behind Clara, Oliver and Celeste were looking at Catherine.
When Celeste noticed Catherine watching her, she lifted a hand to brush away tears that didn’t exist.
"Catherine, none of us ever imagined Clara was our biological daughter. We can’t bear to lose you, but we have to send you back. I can’t bear the thought of keeping you from your true parents—it would be far too cruel.”
Oliver actually thought it was fine to raise two daughters.
But Celeste pointed out that Catherine had bullied Clara during their childhood, and it wouldn’t be fair to Clara for them to continue living together.
As for Catherine, the moment Oliver spread the word, he received a call from Tranquil County about their missing child.
That accent on the phone was really thick!
Oliver could barely understand what they were saying.
Tranquil County—that was the middle of nowhere, where most residents earned a living through farming!
"Catherine, don’t worry. It’s perfectly okay that your parents are farmers. When I spoke on the phone, I heard chickens clucking in the background, so at least when you’re hungry, you’ll have roasted chicken to eat."
Clara couldn’t stop herself from laughing out loud.
What a poor place!
They even raise chickens!
“Dad, you don’t understand those poor areas—chickens are worth more than people there. How could they possibly eat them whenever they want?”
Clara’s expression radiated superiority.
Catherine had seen right through them a long time ago.
They called it a family medical checkup, but wasn’t it really because Catherine had come of age and the engagement with the Johnsons needed to proceed?
The Johnsons were eager to arrange the engagement, and someone grew impatient, wanting Catherine out of the Smith household to make room for their true daughter, who had been raised under the nanny’s name.
Catherine regarded them with contempt and disdain, speaking with complete detachment.
“I was leaving anyway. No need for this charade. Before I go, return my computer.”
Her expression was serene, her eyes radiant, and every gesture exuded a graceful nobility that Clara could never replicate.
How annoying! What's she showing off for!
“Catherine, your computer is five years old. I wouldn’t even want it. Did you misplace it by mistake?”
The nanny, cook, and driver behind them all chimed in with complaints.
“That’s right. Only someone as petty as Catherine would consider a five-year-old computer valuable.”
“Exactly. Catherine’s heading back to the countryside—they probably don’t even know what a computer is there.”
Clara’s face was brimming with smugness.
Catherine met her gaze calmly, took out her phone, tapped it lightly, and instantly displayed a clear surveillance video.
The footage clearly showed Clara sneaking into Catherine’s room last night, unnoticed, and taking her computer.
In the video, Clara clutched the computer, her face twisted in a scowl.
“Why does Grandma treat only you well? I’m the true Smith family daughter!”
Clara had nothing to say.
Was Catherine crazy? She actually installed surveillance in her own room!
And she caught Clara cursing out her grandmother Elodie Smith.
Celeste quickly shielded Clara behind her, as if Catherine were about to devour her.
“Catherine, you’re being so inconsiderate. This is your home too—how can you install surveillance here? We have plenty of business secrets—what if they accidentally get exposed!”
Hearing Celeste put it that way, Oliver’s expression turned serious.
“Catherine, hand me your phone. I want to see if you’ve set up surveillance anywhere else.”
Catherine was speechless.
She really had no interest in the Smith family's little business.
Right before Oliver, Catherine wiped all the files from her phone and restored it to factory settings.
Oliver felt slightly awkward and chuckled, saying, “I’m not doubting you.”
Catherine said coldly, “Mind your words. You’re no longer my father. Return my computer, and I’ll leave immediately.”
Oliver forced an embarrassed smile and turned to Clara, signaling her to retrieve Catherine’s computer.
Clara muttered, “You won’t even part with this old thing. Tranquil County probably doesn’t even have internet.”
This broken computer wouldn’t even power on, yet Catherine, about to face a difficult life, treated it like a priceless treasure.
Catherine shot her a cool, detached glance.
This computer had been a gift from Elodie, and she had modified it herself later. While it was valuable, it wasn’t something she couldn’t part with.
She could rebuild the computer, and she could easily do without these so-called family members!
It's just that this thing had a different meaning to her.
In the entire Smith family, from top to bottom, everyone favored Clara. Only Elodie had loved her since childhood, giving her a warmth she cherished for life.
But with Elodie’s recent passing, the Smith family had become even less significant to her.
Catherine turned and walked toward the front door, showing no hint of hesitation.
Celeste, who had been ready to say something heartfelt, suddenly felt very embarrassed.
“What kind of attitude is that? Your elders are speaking to you kindly, and you’re making faces. You two grew up together, but your personalities and character are completely different!”
From Oliver, Celeste also discovered that Catherine’s biological parents weren’t faring very well.
She learned that the family was extremely poor, living in one of the country’s most backward, poverty-stricken mountain regions, where the village didn’t even have a proper road.
Catherine’s parents were farmers, she had older siblings at home, and her grandparents were also in poor health.
Going to such a poor and backward family, Catherine definitely wouldn't have a good life.
She'd probably have to support the family at a young age, working like a slave!
Clara’s years of feeling inferior under Catherine’s shadow had transformed into bold confidence. She stood and followed Catherine: “Catherine, I’ll see you out.”
Oliver looked at Celeste with some disapproval.
"Say less. Catherine took care of you and Mom when you were sick before."
Celeste glared at him.
"Took care of us? We provided her with good food and drink—she should mind her own status. I’m just worried she might envy Clara’s marriage. The engagement with the Johnsons should only belong to our true daughter!"
Lucas was engaged to the Smith family, so naturally the match should go to the family’s real daughter—not Catherine, the fake daughter who had hijacked their place!
Besides, Clara had known Lucas since childhood, so their bond was naturally very strong.
Compared to Catherine, Clara, the real daughter, was genuinely thoughtful and considerate. With this opportunity, Clara's true identity was finally recognized, lifting Celeste’s spirits significantly.
Thinking about her own marriage, Clara also played up to them, clutching her handkerchief with a pleased smile.
Clara had loved competing since childhood, particularly taking pleasure in seizing Catherine’s belongings.
From small things like jewelry, food, and clothes, to big things like Oliver and Celeste's affection.
Because she didn’t care, Catherine never took it to heart. She simply thought that Clara had been stealing the spotlight since childhood, and the Smith family just couldn’t see people for who they really were.
As for Lucas Johnson, if Clara hadn’t brought him up, Catherine would have almost forgotten he even existed.
"Clara, you really want every man, don't you."

When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.
After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
